In general, we recommend that students participate in at least 2 categories: One category that is a strength and a different category that is a weaker area. In this way, students can advance a personal skill and work to improve and develop new skills. Constantly challenging oneself to be better is a principle of Traditional Martial Arts.

To learn more or to register, visit the Youth Tournament page. If you would like to register your child for the tournament but are unclear what events to enroll in, you can speak with the main instructor at your school to put a plan together. Tournament practice will be part of the children’s lessons between now and the tournament.

On the day of the tournament there will also be an 8 martial arts demonstration. All friends and family are welcome to attend.

Oom Yung Doe students have lessons with the MLT Team from March 29th through April 4th.  During this time there will be a variety of lessons for instructors and students depending on each individual’s interests and current training program.  Instructors will provide detailed lesson schedules in the schools.

Five Master Level Dan Hyung Seminars will be taught during the week and are available to students of all levels of ability (friends and family are welcome as well).  These seminars are a powerful means of developing the mind, body, and spirit. The Master Level Dan Hyung Seminars being taught this round are:

• Doe (Double edged straight sword)
• Angry Dragon
• Kom Doe (Samuri Sword)
• Frog Technique
• Kum Gung Quan Bope (a mountain form)

Traditional Moo Doe has been developed over centuries and many practitioners have dedicated their lives to finding the best ways to develop the mind and body. This knowledge is highly prized in Asia and a school that can teach correct Moo Doe knowledge is not common. In the United States we have only just begun to understand the depth of true Martial Arts knowledge and how to recognize true Moo Doe ability.

Many people wish to have more energy, more mental ability, better health, improved relationships or other advances in quality of life. You can achieve these benefits through the time-proven method of Traditional Martial Arts practice. Regardless of your age or current condition, you can change your reality.

The lesson will be held at the Wakefield school at 401 Main Street. Testing will start at noon, and the lesson and subsequent events will go from 1 PM to 2:30 PM. Snacks and drinks will be available after the lesson.

After the lesson we will have drinks and snacks; let your instructor know if you would like to bring something.

1) He has become more alert. He notices what people are doing around him and talking about much more than before. Even in school, Ishan is doing a lot better as he is more present in terms of his attention.
2) He has become a lot more confident about himself and that translates into more willing to try out new things, more confident in talking and playing with his friends.
3) A lot of subtle changes in his gross motor skills, he learnt how to jump rope as he can jump with two feet now, he learnt balance on the scooter, he is able to hop on one foot so now he wants to play hopscotch, he runs less awkwardly, etc.
4) His reaction time is faster as he practices dodge, duck and other exercises with his Instructor.
5) His general mood also stays better as he loves to go for his sessions and loves the physical exercises and challenges his Instructor tailors for him.

We are very happy with the progress our son has been making and will totally recommend this training for all kids especially kids who have special needs.
